From Staff Reports

A Columbia man has been added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Top Ten Most Wanted List for the second time in five months — this time for his possible connection to the killing of a disabled man.

Deterines Cortae “Weeda” Cathey, 24, was one of four men indicted by a federal grand jury this week for the 2009 death of Relland Stovall.

Cathey is 6-feet tall, weighs 160 pounds and has brown eyes. He has tattoos on both forearms and a “KC” tattoo on his left cheek.

Cathey is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, attempted murder in aid of racketeering, assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to use, brandish, discharge firearms in relation to crimes of violence, and use, brandish, discharge in relation to crimes of violence, according to the TBI press release.

A second man listed in the indictment, Rickey Eugene “Big Rick” Davis Jr., was captured Tuesday outside the Cool Springs Galleria mall in Brentwood. Avery Donte “C-Mo” Harwell is currently being held in state custody on different charges. Edward Christopher “Big Newt” Claude is also at large.

Cathey is a known member of the Kitchen Crips street gang, who is alleged to have killed Stovall with a stray bullet during a drive-by shooting on April 5, 2009. Stovall was standing in his home on White Street in Columbia.

Cathey was placed on the TBI Top Ten Most Wanted list in November on unrelated charges. He was captured in Murfreesboro in December and released on bond.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Cathey’s arrest.

Anyone with information is urged to call the TBI at 1 (800) TBI-FIND or (615) 232-7500 or the Maury County Sheriff’s Department at (931) 380-5733 or the Columbia Police Department at (931) 388-2727.
